Emily Portman was in the news recently because someone had illegally released a fake album in her name, using AI... More than enough reason to support her real new recording on Kickstarter: www.kickstarter.com/projects/emi...
Badenoch's response was like having the snidest Richard Littlejohn Daily Mail piece, read out by a foghorn.
The first 16-year-old to score a senior goal for Luton 🧡
Quercus (June Tabor, Huw Warren, and lain Bellamy) at Kings Place. Musical treats that range from jazz to traditional folk via Dylan and Simon & Garfunkel.

Isn’t there enough darkness and misery in the world already, without the beam of sunshine and joy that was Diane Keaton passing away on a Saturday evening? RIP Diane 😢
I thought for a moment that, as a historian, you were referring to the farmhouse home of the Bloomsburys,
but everyone is entitled to a Saturday night off, strictly speaking….
Peggy Seeger: at 90, as passionate as ever about the environment, peace, feminism and equality. And still with a sparkling sense of humour 😊 #Charlestontrust #FestivaloftheGarden
Happy Dalloway Day to those Virginia Woolf fans who celebrate it. At Monk’s House they commemorated the book’s 100th anniversary with insights from Holly Dawson and Charlie Porter and readings from the one and only Lindsay Duncan.
Make your day: check out the new video for the up-and coming band Talking Heads' Psycho Killer, featuring Saoirse Ronan www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ54...
The hysterical reaction of certain commentators to today’s UK-EU agreement is something to behold.
The “surrender” of using e-gates when you go on holiday. The contempt for the “will of the people” of making education abroad more accessible. Rigorous debate is good. This nonsense is a waste of time.
Glad to see successful cooperation and positive deals made today at the EU-UK Summit.
What remains missing is recognition of the unique citizenship rights of Northern Irish people, who are birth-right EU citizens.
The government has secured a better deal with the EU:
💪 Standing together on security and aid
✂️ Cutting red tape
⚡️ Unlocking energy cooperation
✈️ Boosting travel and youth experience
🗣️ Keeping talks going

Women leading the way at #charlestonfestival : Kate Summserscale, Hallie Rubenhold, and Gwen Adshead on Christie, Crippen, and how media and society - with a touch of Rashomon - interpret violent crime; Wendy Hitchmough and art superstar Katy Hessel on the brilliance of Vanessa Bell
"It cannot accommodate fragmentation, it cannot represent parties fairly or consistently, it exacerbates chaos & it undermines mandates", says @robfordmancs.bsky.social
"There is no longer any excuse for burying your head in the sand about what's going to happen under this electoral system."

The Rheingans Sisters @kingsplacelondon.bsky.social tonight. Spookily good
Arooj Aftab at Brighton Festival - the show was as great as the shoulder pads! Music and a voice that are cool and soothing 😎, a personality and presentation that are warm and self-deprecating 🔥. Charms to drive care away. #Brightonfestival #Brightondome
@robgmacfarlane.bsky.social at Brighton Festival on his new book “Is a River Alive?” with enchanting tales of the centrality of rivers to human existence, from Cambridge to Chennai, Quebec to Ecuador, and back to our own river Ouse at Lewes…
Neil Kinnock, as always, witty, well-informed and persuasive on UK-EU relations
Parisians! I bring this to your attention with a strong recommend!
The state of the newspapers this morning: a near-universal attack on trans people, most of it grossly exaggerating the implication of yesterday's ruling. Almost joyous in its spite.
If you’re in London tomorrow or Saturday, drop what you’re doing and get over to the Rocknroll Public Library at Farsight Gallery, 4 Flitcroft Street. An astounding collection of Mick Jones’ memorabilia that will lift the gloomiest spirit. Ends Saturday 23.
I note with interest right-wing media's total absence of any concerns about prominent BBC presenter Armstrong expressing his highly political opinions. As was always perfectly clear to many of us, the problem was not that Lineker had views, but the fact they didn't approve of his views.

A joy to hear @richardcoles.bsky.social share his “passion for the Passion” of JS Bach, and the huge influence it has had on his life. East Sussex Bach Choir with Kantorei Hochrhein Waldshut are performing Bach’s Matthäus-Passion at Lewes Town Hall on 29 March
At the London Palladium tonight, Karine Polwart, Mary Chaplin Carpenter, and @juliefowlis.bsky.social sang like flights of angels. No other words necessary.
